John Ross House, Historic log house in Rossville, Georgia.
The John Ross House features a two-story log structure with a central breezeway design, two separate log sections, and a wood shingle gable roof.
Built around 1797 by Scottish trader John McDonald, the house became the residence of Cherokee Nation Principal Chief John Ross from 1830 to 1838.
The property represents the intersection of Cherokee and European cultures through the story of the McDonald-Ross family and their role in Native American leadership.
The John Ross House Association maintains this National Historic Landmark at 200 East Lake Avenue, offering visitors insights into Cherokee Nation history.
During the Civil War, this frontier-era structure served as a medical facility for both Union and Confederate soldiers requiring treatment.
